"I understand why they're looking at it; we're definitely growing, but I don't think it's at the right time." Councilman Jeff Simek, who cast the dissenting vote, doesn't believe enough information exists to put the proposal before voters. "It is clearly the largest single decision that has ever been made in this town's history," Simek said. "There are some significant questions that to my satisfaction have not been answered."

"We want the taxpayers to be informed, and we want them to be comfortable with this proposition," he said. McPherson said there might be grant money available to help fund the center, but the town couldn't apply for those grants until the referendum passed.

The vaccine protects against pneumococcal bacteria, which causes the most common forms of pneumonia, meningitis and bacteremia, a potentially fatal blood in-fectioa About 20,000 Americans could be saved each year if more people got the vaccine, the CDC says. But the vaccme does not help the people most at risk of getting pneumococcal disease children under age 2, Bennett said. For them, a new vaccine under development holds the most hope.

"We're seeing a lot of promising steps forward. The thing we don't know is whether the new pneumonia vaccine would also be better for the elderly." UR plans to study that, Treanor said. Senior citizens will be enrolled in two groups, one receiving the experimental pneumonia vaccine, the other getting the existing vaccine. A nasal spray flu vaccme, Flu-Mist, is also being studied by Treanor and others. It provided more protection last year against the flu than the approved vaccine.

This year's flu vaccine contains three strains of influenza A-Syd-ney, A-Beijing and B-Harbin, Tre-anorsaid. Last year, scientists guessed wrong. A-Sydney turned out to be the dominant flu strain, and it was not in the vaccine. "We were one of the more hard-hit areas last year," Treanor said.3 tasks more effectively such as predicting plants' potential value in medicine or determining how air pollution alters habitat, and helping governments and private organizations develop conservation policies.

Andrew's Church (923 Portland Ave.) for their Funeral Mass at 11 AM. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Burn Unit of Strong Memonal Hospital or to St. Andrew's Church in their memory. Entombment Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK A cornerstone was unveiled yesterday for a $39 million Plant Studies Center at the New York Botanical Garden, the latest in a series of major projects to expand and modernize the 107-year-old institution in the Bronx.

The study center, to be completed in 2001, will house the Herbarium, with six million plant specimens, and the LuEsther T. Mertz Library, with 270,000 volumes and a million non-book items relating to botany and horticulture. The facility will be available to researchers in environmental studies; conservation; plant genetics; ethnobotany (the relationship between plants and people); evolutionary theory and the search for new medicine, food and fuel resources. The five-story, sand-colored building housing the center is already in place as an extension of the Garden's 1900-vintage, Beaux Arts museum, but the internal facilities are still to be completed. The museum itself is undergoing a major $6.5 million renovation as part of the garden's seven-year, $200 million master plan.

Sen. Alfonse D'Amato, who along with Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, helped to secure federal funds for the project, pulled a tassel to unveil the cornerstone of the new study center. "Botany is an historical science," said Gregory Long, president of the Botanical Garden. "Even the most technologically advanced new research, such as DNA sequencing, sends scientists back to specimens, books and field notes that may be hundreds of years old." As if to underscore the point, yesterday's ceremony included the placing of a time capsule in the stone, containing letters from each senator, published articles, a library card and its Internet counterpart, and glass jars with DNA test-ready samples of rose petals and sugar maple leaves, from New York's official state flower and tree.

Long said the enhanced protection and accessibility provided by the new Plant Studies Center would enable science to perform many.
